One candidate on Sistani's list gunned down
Just a snippet from a larger story.
In a worrisome sign, one of the candidates on the 228-member United Iraqi Alliance list was killed after ignoring warnings to remove his name. Sattar Jabar, a leader of Iraq's Hezbollah Shiite movement, was gunned down with two other people Thursday night, aide Essa Sayid Jaafer said. "Sattar Jabar received a threatening letter two days before the assassination," Jaafer said. "The letter mentioned that if you are nominated, you will be killed, but he did not give the threat any attention."
I did a RB search on "Sattar". Found Sheik Abdul-Sattar Abdul-Jabbar, mentioned as a member of the Learned Elders of Islam Association of Muslim Scholars, but that's a Sunni outfit, I thought. Dunno if it's the same guy.
